The four main schools of yoga

There are four main schools of yoga-karma yoga, bhakti yoga, jnana yoga, and raja yoga.

Yoga

Yoga belongs to action yoga and is practiced by people with outgoing and active personalities. It purifies the soul by teaching selfless actions and makes people forget the gains and losses. By separating oneself from the results of actions and presenting the results to God, man gradually learns to sublimate oneself. Yoga believes that behavior is the first expression of life, such as food and clothing, daily life, speech, behavior, etc. Yoga advocates focusing energy on the inner world and guiding more complete behaviors through spiritual activities. Yogis usually adopt austere practices of extreme restraint, strive for good deeds, persist in self-discipline, and purify their hearts and desires. They believe that a man's best friend and worst enemy are himself, determined by his own actions. Only with complete dedication can one achieve a noble realm in one's spirit, sentiment, and behavior.

Bhakti Yoga

Bhakha Yoga is a genre of dedication suitable for people who are emotional. The main motivation of Bhakha Yogis comes from love, and they believe that God is the embodiment of love. Through prayer, worship, and various rituals, they dedicate themselves to God, opening channels to transform their emotions into unconditional love or contribution. Singing hymns constitutes the main content of Bhakhakha Yoga.

Zhi Yoga

Wisdom yoga is the yoga of knowledge and wisdom, and it is also the most difficult genre. It requires great will and wisdom. Following the philosophy of Vedanta, wisdom yoga explores its own essence through its own soul. Before practicing wisdom yoga, practitioners need to have practiced other yoga genres and integrate what they have learned-because without selflessness and love for God, without physical strength and will, the pursuit of self-realization can only be unnecessary speculation. Wisdom Yoga believes that there is a difference between low and high knowledge. The knowledge that ordinary people speak of is limited to the external manifestations of life and matter. This knowledge can be obtained directly or indirectly. The "knowledge" sought by wisdom yoga requires yoga practitioners to turn inward and experience and understand the inner through the appearance of all external things. Practitioners of wisdom yoga gain an understanding of the true meaning of life by reading aloud ancient classics that are considered to be apocalyptic.

Raja Yoga

The founder of Wang Yoga is patanjali, author of. The eight branches of yoga he summarized provide practical steps for yoga practitioners to purify their body and spirit, and are often called the "King's Way". (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
